VODKA



The Viral Opensource DVG Key Algorithm2 (VODKA2) identifies copy-back non-standard genome's and deletion non-standard viral genome's junction regions within RNA-seq datasets.



VODKA’s performance was tested in positive and negative strand viruses and detects copy-back DVGs with great sensitivity. 


Figure shows the alignment of SeV copy-back DVGS identified using VODKA to the SeV genome (top) and the cbDVG-546, the primary cbDVG in SeV strain Cantell (bottom)

VODKA was originally developed by collaborators Eun Ji Kim and Gregory Grant @Penn ITMAT
